Blue Skies

Joondalup Health Campus is pleased to be in partnership with Silver Chain to offer the initiative Blue Skies, which is a workshop aimed at promoting healthy grieving for children who are bereaved.

Blue Skies is an innovative program developed by palliative care social workers, for children aged between eight and twelve years old, who are grieving the loss of a parent or primary caregiver. 

Blue Skies provides a safe, fun-filled and supportive environment connecting children who are grieving, and teaches them how to feel safe to speak about their feelings. The program aims to assist children in recognising, naming and developing awareness of the variety of emotions associated with death, and expressing these emotions. Bringing children together who are experiencing a similar life change also reduces the isolation associated with a bereavement and enables them to give and receive support in a shared creative environment.

 

Black Swan Theatre Company

Black Swan Theatre Company is Western Australia’s state flagship theatre company.  Black Swan has developed a reputation for innovation and the nurturing of new work, and in particular the telling of uniquely Western Australian stories.

In 2010, Joondalup Health Campus will be the Associate Partner of Twelfth Night, a beguiling comedy with William Shakespeare’s most memorable characters and hilariously improbable situations.

 

HBF Run for Reason

The HBF Run for Reason, presented by the Western Australian is a new physical activity event that is being held on Sunday 23 May 2010. The HBF Run for a Reason is a true community event, with the purpose of bringing together people of all ages and fitness levels who thrive on the opportunity to run for their reason, whether that be supporting one of our six chronic disease charity partners, achieving personal fitness goals or having a fun day out!

The HBF Run for a Reason has been designed to give participants the chance to walk, run, jog or stroll around the Perth CBD by taking part in either the 14km or 4.5km distances, which both start and finish at the ironic grounds of the WACA.

You can also register as part of a team and take part in the Ramsay Team Challenge and be in the running for some great team prizes.

HBF have partnered with WA’s six leading charities that are leading the way in reducing the prevalence of chronic disease. As well as raising awareness of each disease, the event gives participants the opportunity to fundraise for any of the six charities - Asthma Foundation of WA, Heart Foundation WA, Cancer Council WA, Arthritis WA, Lifeline WA and Diabetes WA.

To register visit any HBF Branch or hbfrun.com.au.

 

Relay for life
Joondalup Health Campus became sponsors for Relay for Life, an initiative promoted by the Cancer Council of WA, in 2008. Relay for Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will be remembered, those going through cancer will be supported and that one day cancer will be eliminated.

It is an event which touches people’s hearts like no other. It is a fun, outdoor, overnight fundraising event where teams of 10 -15 people take turns to walk or run relay-style around their local oval for 24 hours.

In 2008, JHC had eight teams, which consisted of over 100 staff members from the hospital, participate. They each raised money for the cause, some organised quiz nights and raffles in order to donate funds.

 

Valentine’s Day Concert
The City of Joondalup holds an annual Valentine’s Day Concert as part of a series of four free outdoor summer concerts. It has proved to be one of WAs premier community events and attracted over 8,000 people from the metropolitan area.

In 2009, ARIA award winner and multi-platinum recording artist Damien Leith, and his band, was the headlining act of the concert.

Joondalup Health Campus believes free community events such as the Valentine’s Day Concert are integral in maintaining the thriving multicultural city that is Joondalup and as such were pleased to be Premier Sponsor of the event.
